Link to last post on Dyfi Osprey Project – April 2018
Summary of the season so far:
Monty arrived back 4 April. Sadly Blue 12/Glesni has not returned however a new female, Blue 3J(13) who arrived at the Dyfi around 4 April has paired up with Monty and they are now incubating three eggs - #1 laid 22 April, #2 laid 25 April and #3 on 28 April and are due to hatch later this month.
But until then, hopefully we can keep tracks on Gwynant and what he gets up to and also learn what 3J is to be called. And last but no means least, we await Ems’ tribute to Glesni and no doubt many of us will wish to post a few words here too.

I rather thought that too, very delicate wording, but I love the name. There were obviously many aspects taken into consideration, and although an English bird, she has chosen Wales as her home. I hope Rutland approve too.

I rather liked the notion posted by some Wag on Facebook that we could be calling her Kora in the winter when she is presumably in Africa, Kora being the word for harp in Senegalese.
Kind regards, Ann

Good to have the captures Mary. Those that follow may be glad as things seem to get worse as the day goes on!
She keeps trying to nod off and then something alerts her awake I love the close-upness of this nest/LS
Still Teyln incubating and just as I wrote that Monty arrived with a long stick

Morning All - thanks for all the updates and captures.
Love 3J's new name - Teyln. Just seems perfect for her.
That is one thing we can say about Dyfi is that they are so thoughtful with the names they choose.
I thought Monty might have taken over as Telyn got up but after fiddling with some hay, he has flown Wonder if he has gone fishing
